Let the soy sauce hit the floor

Former San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Kwame Harris will appear in San Mateo County Superior Court today on charges he assaulted his former boyfriend at a Menlo Park restaurant during an argument over soy sauce and underwear.

...Harris and his alleged victim had been in a romantic relationship but were no longer involved when they met at Su Hong restaurant in Menlo Park, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Harris’ attorney Alin Cintean confirms the pair were previously involved but were just friends at that point. Harris was to drive Geier to San Francisco International Airport but instead became upset when he poured soy sauce on a plate of rice, according to the suit filed in San Mateo County Superior Court.

The men argued for approximately seven minutes and Harris said he would no longer take Geier to the airport, the suit states. As the men left to remove Geier’s belongings from Harris’ car so that he could instead take a cab, Harris tried pulling the other man’s pants down and accused him of stealing his underwear, according to the suit. Geier unsuccessfully tried pushing Harris away but the bigger man shook him violently and punched him in the arms, the suit states.

Police reports list Harris as 6 feet 7 inches and 240 pounds while Geier is 6 feet 1 inch and 220, Guidotti said. Geier allegedly hit Harris three times in the face but Harris “seemed only to grow more agitated” and punched him in the face several times until he fell, the suit states. Harris allegedly threw Geier’s property from the car and left while Geier hailed a cab and was taken to an emergency room in San Jose. Geier had surgery to repair broken orbital bones and required a metal plate to repair the damage. Harris was arrested at his home.

Whether gay or straight, it's never a good idea to mix soy sauce and underwear, my friends. It's bound to lead to some of the "ultra violence."

This applies doubly when the offended party is 6 feet 7 inches and probably weighs three bills.

Multiple teams are considering hiring Mike Shanahan with son Kyle as his offensive coordinator

We dodged Kwame, but drafted George Foster instead. Foster was just sort of a disappointing unathletic-looking first round tackle who seemed to be gradually improving, but at a glacial pace. Then he blocked Bengals defensive tackle Tony Williams on Monday Night football and Williams suffered a career altering broken ankle. Lots of national attention and media claims that it was a dirty block. Foster, who lacked aggressiveness anyway, began playing much more timidly after that and it cost him his job in Denver.

That is simply a strange story. I remember thinking we might draft Harris. Glad I was wrong.
